I cherish my happy memories of Uncle Elliott. He lived an interesting and adventurous life and I enjoyed time spent with him at family occasions. He was always a warm and welcoming host at my visits to his homes in both Alaska and Seattle. Elliott was a kind man with a zest for life and was a wonderful uncle.

Our sympathies to Elliott’s family. He was an important part of our lives in Anchorage and his passing will forever leave a void. We shared not only work but numerous outdoor activities and home based parties and meals. Elliott was more of a family member than a coworker. He will be missed and remembered fondly.
